Episode Description
In this week’s episode I sat down with Julie Forrest Wyman. Julie is a filmmaker, writer, and Associate Professor of Cinema and Digital Media at UC Davis. Her work engages issues of embodiment, body image, and the possibilities and problematics of media spectatorship.
We discuss her most recent film “The Tallest Dwarf”, the ways in which the bodies of people with dwarfism have been seen and perceived through to the present day and much, much more.
This episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin.
